Working the Brain Too Little.

There is great cutlery to he heard at pres
ent about the danger of overtaxing the brain,
and in our restless age it doubtless is posi-
tive danger to be guarded against in the
young student no less than in the old and ex-
-perienced worker, overwork often resulting
in calling so much more blood to the brain
than can be used there, that congestion, in
sanity and death result. But nothing has
been said about danger that is the very
contrary of this, and that is the danger re-
sulting to the brain from no work at all. II
the one heats the brain too much, the other
heats it too little; it becomes, as an unused
muscle does, fiaccid and drained, and so COM
paratively weak and useless 1t ''gets along"
frequently from force of habit; but make
any unusual demand and it collapses.
The brain may not at once develop its in
jury, as it is an affair of time, and many peo-
pie manage with SO little use of this special
organ that nothing is expected of them; but
the breaking down is on the way all the same,
and especially if unusual thought or action Is
required. This is danger peculiarly threat
ening among the rich and idle of the COM
munity, who often lead lives, after while,
pleasure having palled, of listlessness, in
difference and ,ennui. In view Of the posi-
bility to which we refer, it is strongly urged
that every one should seek some object Of
interest and healthy excitement. Charity
may always prove an avenue of safety to the
people, but even the pursuit of pleasure in
this light acquires some value.-Harper's
Bazaar.

Now, there is another thing upon which
would like to say word or two. 1t is the
marriage of American girls to Euglishmen
How many of these marriages are there that
we can put our finger upon, that money did
not come from the lady, and title from the
gentleman Not one If not in present., it
is in future. If the girl hasn't fortune, she
will have one; if the man hasn't a title, he is
sure, sooner or later, to come into one, or be
in some way related to man or woman who
has title. 1t is not the way of Englishmen,
of present or prospective title CT high family
to marry a woman without money.
A girl with money in England is like bar
rel of molasses in July. You can't count the
flies. And then, girl, even without money,
is surrounded by the most absurd rules and
regulations. Love marriages won't do. If a
man is content to marry girl without any
fortune, he isn't encouraged much by her
papa and mamma, unless he is able and will.

escort her alone to ball, party or the thea

One day Chauncey NJ Depew was asked
how it was that he was always provided with
stories that no one ever heard until he told
them. His reply was characteristic: II
make them myself" After moment he
added: Now, Ill explain how that is" and
then he went on to say that story once told
is public property, and no man can claim it
afterwrd or tell it again with certainty
that it will fall against unfamiliar ears. He
said that he had found that a man who leads
an active life is constantly provided with ma
terials for good stories. He sees queer peo-
pie, gets all insight into quaint characters,
observes the humorous incidents that happen
or that have to be kept from happening, as
when a man who detests another is in one

Mole care should be taken by the police in
the locking up of persons brought in from the
streets in an unconscious condition. The Do
hceman always assumes that a man lying on
the street, without sense or motion, is drunk.
The hoodlum wagon is summoned, and the
limp form carried to the calaboose and
hustled into cell. In the morning the pris-
oner fails to respond to the call to come out.
He is dragged out, and then it is found that
he is dead. The police report reads that "a
chronic druIkard was picked up on the
street yesterday i'll an unconscious condition
and taken to station During the
night he died Of alcoholism. The coroner re-
turned verdict in accordance with the
facts" Now the facts may be that there was
no alcoholism in the case. There are hun
dred causes that will reduce person to UNI
consciousness. Often the man picked I'D
should be taken to the hospital in an ambu-
lance, and not to the calaboose i'll hoodlum
wagon. These cases are of such frequent &C.
currence as to warrant serious attention.
